Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

    We had the best day hanging out with Mikey! We had 3 kiddos (11 and 8) and he was so great with them!! Took time to get to know them, and talked about each fish they caught so it was super educational too! We would do this again in a heartbeat and couldn’t have asked for a better captain and a better day!!

    This Captain Ben was AWESOME ! ! ! Took wife and two grandkids with me, we caught more fish then you could count. All fish were good size and quite a number of them were keepable, which he filleted when we got to dock size. Plan to schedule another outing with him shortly and HIGHLY recommend him to everyone!!!

    Had a fantastic morning on the water with Captain Nick! He is a great guide, coach & company on the water. He knows the waters, and the fish and was patient & encouraging when I had a bad cast or failed to set the hook. I did manage to land a nice black drum that is on the menu for my in-laws tonight. I'll be back soon with our three young men!

    Trip: St. Pete Offshore Experience

  • ★★★★★
    Punctual with a nice clean boat. Covered a number of different areas focussed on snook or redfish by fly fishing while working around occasional wind and sometimes waiting for the sun to reappear from behind a cloud. Saw a number of skittish fish and put in almost 6 hours of casting both sight and blind, but unfortunately none took the flies. None the less enjoyed the day and got along well with Nick, a very enjoyable guide and captain. Thank you

    Captain Hank was a wonderful addition to our trip! He was smart, funny and a great conversationalist. The fishing was slow but we knew that with the pre day conversation of wind and murky water. We caught an array of different species including a bonnet head shark. Thanks for making memories with us Hank! See you next trip down from Canada!

    Steve & crew were great! They kept our lines in the water, and attended to us quickly. The boat was clean and spacious, lots of space to get out of the sun, but maintain a breeze without getting down into the cabin. 100% would recommend you give Reel Deal a shot!
